You think correctly, Theo. I'm too lazy to type properly!
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And my sloth is such that it took me another hour to go back and edit.

I did the Bunny Hop at the bowling alley last Friday, now that I think about it. They were playing "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson, which HAS to be Bunny Hopped to.
(If my wacky pseudo-big brother has a bad week, he takes me bowling. He claims the sight of me in floofy knee-length petticoats, stripey tights, and velvet dresses attempting to bowl will trump any depression. I think he's mocking me, but hey! Strong drinks, Chinese food delivered to our lanes, and sparkly pink bowling balls are always fun.)

I love goths, because I look so positive standing next to one. And they never say "Smile! It can't be that bad!"

John H and ita showing once again why they're smarter than most people over in Building a Better Thread
John H
Not to get all Perl about it, but it doesn't have the pure poetry of:
@newarray = grep {length($_)} @oldarray;
does it?
Ita
Even ee might think your poetry a little opaque.
John H
I say "ee", you say "OO", let's call the whole thing off.
And of course like all Perl addicts I've realised I was way wordy above, goddamnit I'm Samuel Taylor Coleridge compared to the Japanese simplicity of this:
@newarray = grep {/./} @oldarray;

I distinctly recall John promising to use his powers only for good. This is not for good.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Allyson - am I drunk already, or does that say, "listening to 250 white suburban Jewish kids sing along to "Baby Got Back" at the tops of their lungs"?

Dude, if I could read peoples' minds, I so would all the fucking time. I'd know 50% of everyone's deepest darkest secrets. With my luck it would be the crappy 50%, but still.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
